  1. Getting a new phone is supposed to be a pleasurable experience. iTunes makes it the most frustrating experience from hell.

      I tried the phone to phone Bluetooth option. Both phones just sat there next to each other not doing anything - I guess my old phone was just too old!

      That might have worked if my iCloud account had more than 5GB and my old phone contents were less than 25!

      Plug the old phone in - iTunes pops up and I can make a backup. Plug the new phone in to restor and iTunes goes 'Can't recognise phone. An unknown error has occurred'. Suggestions online to upgrade Windows - yeah, right - they think I'm going to mess up my link to work by upgrading to Windows 10 right now! Could have tried upgrading iTunes, but there was some disagreement between Apple and Microsoft about the Windows requirements. In the end got there on SWMBO's computer.

  4. Always find it a bit sad when I realise someone no longer visits/posts on RMweb. Those I have been used to seeing on a regular basis. Just discovered another. It's life I know....

      I have to admit to being as bad - I used to post on the Amateur Photographer forum quite a bit - then I discovered RMWeb.

  5. I don't like these circular/peephole thumbnails....

    Can we have the square ones back?

     

    (And if thats my most important quibble, then the RMWeb team have done a good job!)

      Looks fine to me... but my thumbnail was circular to start with :D

      Pacific, it records video every time it detects motion. Captain, I like your thinking.

  10. 1 hours work to make 1 pair of masokits screw links. I need at least 8 pairs by Feb 2nd

      I started off with PC Models couplings which look nice and are an appropriate size. Since I ran out I've bought a few Smiths- the Smiths are oversized but at least I can see them. The only thing I wonder about Smiths is that the hooks stick out as far as the buffers and I fear when sprung buffers get compressed I might end up with a locking problem when pushing wagons

      I usually manage to end up one buffer short, which is most annoying.

      If I convince my boss that I should teach our trainee surgeons modelling to improve their hand-eye coordination, can I write off my trains on my tax return as a business expense?

      What you do with a food mixer in the privacy of your own home is entirely your business.

  15. Measure twice, cut once. Measure twice, cut once. Will I ever learn.

    1. sharris

      sharris

      Measure three times and choose the two measurements that agree with each other. To avoid the possibility of the measuring device being wrong you'd better use 3 different rulers.

      For the first time this year we finished cooking the sprouts by pan-frying with pancetta - bacon makes everything better.
